El Niño conditions strengthening through the peak months are suppressing Atlantic tropical cyclone activity this season, with NOAA's August update forecasting a 75% chance of below-normal activity overall and just 0-2 major hurricanes. As of early September, only two named storms—Arthur and Bertha—have formed, both remaining below hurricane strength, and the National Hurricane Center reports no development expected in the next seven days amid a quiet basin. This aligns with reduced historical probabilities for U.S. major hurricane landfalls (around 24% versus the long-term 43% average), though steering patterns and late-season waves from Africa could still produce impacts. Traders should monitor weekly NHC tropical weather outlooks and any model shifts in vertical wind shear or sea surface temperatures for signals on potential Gulf or East Coast threats.

A hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL) and the NHC reports maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher (Category 1 or greater) at the time of landfall. The state of landfall is determined by the surface center's location when it crosses the coastline. If a single hurricane makes separate landfalls in more than one listed state, each such state resolves to "Yes".
Hurricane season runs from June 1, 2026 - November 30, 2026.
Each market resolves based on the initial NHC (or CPHC) advisory reporting a qualifying landfall in the relevant state, regardless of any later retraction or reanalysis. Each market may only resolve to "No" after November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or, if an extension period applies, after December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met.
If an active tropical cyclone at hurricane strength is over water per official NHC or CPHC advisories as of 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2026, the relevant market(s) will operate under an extension period of 7 days, and the resolution date will move to December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; a qualifying landfall by that hurricane during the extension period will count toward resolution.
If a qualifying landfall occurs within a market's timeframe (including any extension period) but has not yet been confirmed by an NHC or CPHC advisory by the resolution date, that market will remain open until such an advisory is issued.
